NEW FEATURES

  • occ_issues() now works with download data and arbitrary data.frame's (#193)
  • New downloads queueing tools: gains functions occ_download_prep() for preparing a download request without executing it, and occ_download_queue() for kicking off many download jobs while respecting GBIF's downloads rate limits. See also internal R6 classes for dealing with queuing: DownReq, GifQueue. See ?occ_download_queue to get started (#266) (#305) (#311)
  • New function map_fetch() working with the GBIF maps API https://www.gbif.org/developer/maps. See ?map_fetch to get started (#238) (#269) (#284) thanks to @JanLauGe for the work on this
  • name_lookup() gains origin parameter (#288) (#293) thanks @peterdesmet and @damianooldoni
  • name_lookup() and name_usage() gain internal paging - just as occ_search()/occ_data() have (#291) (see also #281) thanks @damianooldoni
  • new import lazyeval, and new suggests png and raster
  • occ_search()/occ_data() gain parameter skip_validate (boolean) to skip or not stkip WKT validation by the wicket package

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

  • removed warnings about parameters that were removed in previous versions of the package (#189)
  • add citation file (#189)
  • updated name_usage() to check params that now only allow 1 value: name, language, datasetKey, rank (#287)
  • occ_count() loses nubKey, catalogNumber, and hostCountry as those parameters are no longer accepted by GBIF

BUG FIXES

  • fixed bug in name_usage(), was screwing something up internally (#286)
  • fixed bug in occ_data(): curl options weren't being passed through (#297)
  • fixed geometry usage in occ_search()/occ_data() - skipping the wicket validation and constructing WKT by hand from bounding box (if bounding box given) - the validation that wicket does isn't what GBIF wants (#303)
  • add fill parameter to occ_download_import() to pass on to fill in data.table::fread, and set fill=TRUE as default. (#292)
  • better failure for occ_download() (#300)
  • fix bug in occ_download() in which a single taxonKey passed in was failing (#283)
  • name_usage() was ignoring datasetKey and uuid parameters (#290)

DEFUNCT AND DEPRECATED

  • gbifmap() has been removed, see the package mapr for similar functionality and map_fetch() in this package to use the GBIF map API (#298)
